- YRS - Young Researchers of Serbiahttp://www.mis.org.yu/index.php?lang=eng
The Young Researchers of Serbia is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation whose main aim is to promote education and exchange services for young people. They undertake a variety of activities such as scientific research projects, volunteer exchange, international volunteer projects, humanitarian activities and publishing.
VCV-Voluntary Centre Vojvodina (http://www.volontiraj.org.yu/english) and ECK-Educational Centre Krusevac (http://www.ec.org.yu) also organize volunteer projects in Serbia.
These organisations are all members of the South-East European Youth Network. SEEYN (www.seeyn.org) was born in 2000 and consists of 11 very different organisations who share a common belief in voluntarism, exchanges and co-operation between borders. Through their work, SEEYN hope to challenge the stereotypes that many people still hold of the region and believe that international volunteer projects are a good way in which to do this.
